July has begun and with it plenty of fun activities for our teens.

Our first soccer Wednesday was a great success. We’ll continue our pickup soccer games throughout the summer. Join us every Wednesday from 6:00 – 8:00 pm at Mount Vernon High School.

Tonight! July 2nd – first summer drop-in!

Tonight is our first summer drop-in for MS and HS teens. We’re kicking it all off with an awesome game of Ultimate Frisbee. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll go inside and play some Ultimate “Ball” along with a few games of pool. Everything starts at 6:00 pm, we hope to see everyone there.

"Snowball" Fight in July?

Wait! What? A snowball fight in July? You heard correctly. We are having an ultimate snowball fight and water balloon battle at our drop-in on Monday, July 6. Bring your friends, the bigger the teams, the more fun it will be. To make this a success we need teens to bring some snowball ingredients:·2 boxes of cornstarch·1 can shaving cream

The cheap stuff is just fine. Take a trip to the dollar store and get ready to make the snowballs. Teams and individuals are welcome. Tell your friends!
